American soldiers search an Afghan man working for a private security firm
92,000 classified documents pertaining to the war in Afghanistan have been leaked
The war logs expose the true scale of the Western military deployment -- and the problems beleaguering Germany's Bundeswehr in the Hindu Kush.
The White House called the disclosures "alarming."
The material could reinforce the view put forth by the war's opponents in Congress that one of the nation's longest conflicts is hopelessly stalemated.
The war logs reveal civilian killings by coalition forces, secret efforts to eliminate Taliban and al-Qaida leaders, and discuss the involvement of Iran and Pakistan in supporting insurgents.
The Pentagon also was looking at possible damage on the ground in Afghanistan.
